Meet the Brooklyn Nets' 2015 NBA Draft class
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Brooklyn Nets’ 2015 draft class.
Amid swirling trade rumors, the Nets began the night with two selections: No. 29 and No. 41 pick. After sending Mason Plumlee to Portland and trading two future second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets, Billy King landed Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Chris McCullough, and Juan Pablo Vaulet in Brooklyn.
While names like Towns, Russell, Okafor, and Mudiay highlighted one of the best draft classes in recent memory, here’s a closer at look at newest Brooklyn Nets and what we can expect from them this coming season.
From the archive. This was filed on 29 June 2015, and it is short because it was short then: a note put up while a story was still moving, not a piece written to be read years afterwards. It is kept at the address it went up at, in the wording it went up in.
It sits on Opinion, which holds 70 pieces in all. The desk is the right place to read around a note this short: it brings the days either side of it within reach, and the longer pieces on the same subject alongside.
It is one of 36 pieces the desk filed across 2014-15. The season pages in the archive put them back in order, which is the order they were written to be read in.
Why keep it at all, given the length. Because the address still receives readers — out of a search, out of a link in somebody else’s writing, out of a bookmark — and answering them with a redirect to the front page is worse than answering them with the short thing they actually asked for. Every address the old site had was kept when this one was re-set.
